Up to last SATURDAY. night there had been
filed in the pension Office 7.T16 applications
for pensions under the Mexican pension
law, passed late In the last session of Con-
gresS.
Arthur Macarthur has resigned his post
as justice OF the supreme court OF the DIS,
trict of Columbia. He Is ~ years old, and
was Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in
1865.
Arrangements are being made at the
treasury department to supply the demand
for small notes. silver certificates, and
United States notes, which Is very large,
and Is Increasing daily.
th0all important decisions of his Office in
pension cases made during the present cal
endar year be printed from time to time, and
at the end of the year they be bound in
volume. Orders for this volume received
by the public printer before the work goes
to press will be filled at price 10 per cent

PUBLIC LAND RECLAIMED.
Commissioner Sparks has ordered the re-
s;oration to entry of 1880 acres of land In
the Reed City, Mich, land district, which
were selected in 1871 by the jackson, Lam
sing and Saginaw Railway company. The
commissioners I'm 1885 held that these lands
were excepted from the railroad grant by
reason of having been embraced in an In
dian reservation at the time Of grant, and
that by the subsequent extinguishment of
the Indian reservation the lands reverted TO
the public domain, and did not lnure to the
railroad company. Secretary Lamar affirm
ed this, decision, and the present action
opens the lands to settlement and entry
under the public land laws.
WHY. THE CONVICT LABOR BILL FAILED.
The pocket veto of the bill inhibiting
the employment of convict labor or use of
any material produced by convict labor in
the construction of Federal buildings or
other public works was consequent upon q
clause which likewise forbade the employ
ment Of any alien or person who had not
declared his intention to become citizen.
i 1t would have been too late to amend the
bill by. striking out the latter clause, and
while the. provision against convict labor
was not objected to, the President thought
American traditions and customs permitted.

A Norwegian Bride and Groom.

The bride was about %, should say,
with ruddy complexion, good features,
and large blue eyes. She had upon her
head the bridal crown, without which
few peasant women arc married in Nor
way. l tried one on my own head on
another occasion, and found it heavy.
There is q brass rim to fit the head, and
the open silver-work above it is often
gilt in place with patches of gold, and
embellished with garnets Such crowns
are kept as heirlooms; and it is no un-
common thing for the women of the
same household 10 be married in Il
crown that has done similar duty in the
family for one Oh two hundred years
The skirt was of black material, the
bodice was snowy white, with corset
of red and green, and an apron of white.
with bands of embroidery hanging in
front of it. Around the neck and the
waist were squarely-made, dusky silver
bands, looking like an eccentric collec-
ton of old buckles.
The bridegroom wore stop hat"
which seemed to have been kept in his
family much after the fashion of his in-
tended's bridal crown. He has red
waistcoat very short in the waist, with
brass buttons on it, and singular kind
of coat, very loose, with frontal orna-
ment. There was just suspicion of
red piping down the side of the trousers.
He was muscular, sun-burnt hardy
looking man of about 80, though proba-
bly, younger than he seemed to be. The
white bodices and colored skirts, the
silver jewelry, of the girls in the process
sion, and the snowy headgear of the
married women with crimped lappets
hanging down the back, and V-shaped,
made brave show.
The second couple looked much older.
The brides had their wedding rings
already on their fingers, and each car
ried several handkerchiefs folded up. of
various colors. These handkerchief are
usually presents given ut the betrothal.
The ceremony was short. The SER
vice and communion were over before
the bridal professions reached the
church; and as they entered the two
couples advanced to the altar, knelt
down, and then placed themselves, with
their friends, about the altar-rails. The
pastor, in a black gown, with an Eliza
bethan ruff round his neck, addressed IL
few words to the groups, and then ques-
toned bridegrooms and brides in turn.
Each couple then knelt down, with their
hands joined together, and the pastor
pronounced them man and wife. A
benediction concluded the service. -
